Database admin
For servers running a database engine, SHTERA opens the matching web admin tool, already configured, in a panel tab.
Which engine opens which tool
Each engine uses the tool people already know, not a generic admin:
- MySQL and MariaDB: phpMyAdmin
- PostgreSQL: pgAdmin
- MongoDB: mongo-express
- Redis: RedisInsight
It starts and stops on its own
The admin tool is not running all the time: it comes up when you ask for it and shuts down on its own once you stop using it. It uses between 45 and 261 MB of memory depending on the engine, measured in real use.
If the folder has a VPN, the admin tool goes through that same tunnel, so it also works for databases that cannot be reached from the internet.
One known limit
Two servers in the SAME folder with a VPN, using the SAME tool, cannot have their admin open at the same time: they share the tunnel network space and therefore the port. Close one to open the other.
